The house was spacious and clean. We enjoyed sitting on the large deck viewing the lake. There were a few wasps inside when we arrived. The host immediately showed up with wasp spray. He also checked daily to see if there were any more wasps which there weren’t. If you like quiet this is the place to stay.

Absolutely perfect cabin!! Everything about it was beautiful and perfect. Close enough to where we wanted to be and far enough away from neighbors. Everything was clean and worked great. Beds comfy, plenty of hot water and water pressure in showers!! It was great!

Fantastic Home and Property

My kids loved the home and playing on the large property. Often, cabins feel dirty from being in the woods, but this home was very clean and didn't feel like you were in the woods other than the incredible views.

This property was exactly what we were looking for. Very spacious, clean, peaceful and convenient to all the places we wanted to go. If I was a painter, I would have painted the view from the back of the house. We will definitely return at sometime!

We spent a week at this property and enjoyed the fresh air, comfortable home and location. It is near Cortez and Mancos for access to kitchen supplies and any other needs you may have. The sitting areas are spacious and allow for gathering and separation as desired. Highly recommeded for families/friends coming together to enjoy the area.

My family spent a few days here while visiting Mesa Verde National Park. Location was close to the park. The house is rustic and comfortable with plenty of room for all of us. The tree swing was a big hit with the kiddos. We would come back!

Great secluded time

This place was great. It has a large amount of land so it was very private. It was nice to be able to let the dogs out without having to make sure they weren’t going to bother anyone. It has a lake that you can walk down to and there is a little tee pee there. The deck was nice to sit on and enjoy the views. It was clean and had a good set of dishes and pots and pans. It was a great place for our family getaway.

A magical place

This was our 3rd year coming to this magical cabin. The water was very high this year creating more of a beautiful landscape. The property is in a great location between Mancos, Dolores and Cortez. Wonderful hiking all around. The owners are wonderful and very quick to respond if there are any issues. We feel very blessed to be able to share in this cabin.

Wonderful Lakeside Getaway

Absolutely the best of everything. Beautiful views, an assortment of wildlife, fun floating on the lake, fishing and relaxing on the deck. The amenities, especially the air conditioning on warmer days took comfort to the top. The master suite was perfect and other family members were happy with their rooms. We would not hesitate to return. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place with us.

Peaceful and Beautiful

We enjoyed our one week stay at this VRBO property. With 10 people (ages 5, 10, 12, 14, 16, 19, 40s x2, and 70s x2), it was at times a bit tight. However, it did work out well and the family spent some good quality time together. The weather was lovely and the property was very well kept up.

Fantastic cabin, fantastic views!!

The cabin was clean and comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked. The owner was very easy to communicate with. We had zeros issues while we were there. Our group was made up of 3 guys and we used the cabin as a base camp for an elk hunt in the San Juan national forest. It was wonderful to come in to a hot shower and soft bed after hiking 15 miles all over the mountains. I would absolutely stay here again.

Got the family together to view the 'Ring of Fire' eclipse. We had plenty of room for everyone to enjoy their time over the weekend! The fall leaves, evening stars, and blue sky weather all cooperated. Couldn't have been better

Wonderful get away!

This home and location were perfect for our Thanksgiving get away to the 4 corners area. The layout of the home accommodated 2 families of 4 quite nicely with one family in the two upstairs bedrooms and the other family in the two downstairs bedrooms. The home was cozy and well appointed and we didn't miss the TV at all. The property is beautiful and we enjoyed walking out to the lake, swinging on the swings, and taking in the view. It was so quiet and peaceful there. The location was perfect for exploring the area from the nearby Anasazi Heritage center in Dolores, to Mesa Verde, to Durango. We would definitely return to this home.

Thanks so much and please come back to see us. Hope that you won't mind in the future that we have added one television with Direct TV in the downstairs living area. :)
